The '''People's Republic of Duōmachāha''', commonly known as '''Duōmachāha''' or '''Duamacia''' in the [[Occidental world|Occident]], is a sovereign state in [[Alshar]]. The country is comprised of the Duōma Plateau, a large plateau stretching from [[Kandara]] in the west to [[Metzetta]] in the east, and a lowland plain in the southwest north of [[Canpei]] and [[Rusana]]. The southern border of Duōmachāha is defined by various rivers for nearly its entire extent barring the Rusani Pass extending into the Pukhtun River Valley and the Snow Dragon Pass north of Tanhai. The northern border is similarly defined by long rivers pouring down from the two mountain ranges of the country, the Gates of Heaven (Tsosogidagungshō / སྒོཙོ།གི།དགུང་ཤཽ།), defining the north border between Duōmachāha and Kandara, and the Snow Dragon Peaks (R'tsesogiclōgonghas / རྩེ་མོ།གི།ཀླུ་གངས།) reaching from the Duōma Plateau to the Metzi coast. The rivers and mountains of the Duōma border make the country resistant to foreign influence, and this has proven so through history as Duōmachāha avoided colonization from Occidental nations and maintained a working relationship with [[Burgundie]]. Duōmachāha shares a tenuous northern border with [[Kloistan]] however where the Duōma Plateau gives way to the vast steppe land of northern Alshar. The majority of the state sits high above sea level, with 68% of the country consisting of the Duōma Plateau alone and 70% of the country's 2,599,416 square kilometers being highland. The country's capital sits on the plateau in Hronizha, while the largest city of Langsei resting on the shore of Lake Nongkun close to the border with Tanhai.
The '''Cronan Security and Trade Union (CSTU)''' is a military alliance based on the continent of [[Crona]]. Formed in 2027 by the three nations of [[Alstin]], [[Arcerion]], and [[Paulastra]], it was aimed at providing a hybrid economic and military alliance that benefitted their capitalist, free market economies but also provided provisions for collective defense and military cooperation. Its headquarters is located centrally in Kinnaird, Arcerion and is expected to be finished construction in 2029. Until then, the Union Council is housed between the Arcer Ministry of Defense building and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  
 
The CSTU system is centered on ecomic cooperation and collective defense, where an attack by a third party is an attack on all. It was established mainly to combat growing problems following the [[Final War of the Deluge|Final Deluge]] and the impacts of the Varshan power vacuum in Crona. The Union Council's headquarters in Kinnaird is to be mirrored by a second Allied Coordination and Planning Centre (ACPC) which will likely be in Arcerion due to its central nature. Members in the alliance commit to military spending to ensure that they contribute to the Union's aim of a secure, stable and peaceful South Crona.

=== Prehistory (''Antiquity'' - 2000 BCE)===

===== Paleolithic =====
=== Anti-piracy in the Malentine Sea ===
Human activity in Duōmachāha is traced back millions of years, alongside the activity found in neighboring [[Kandara]] and other nations on the periphery. Prior to habitation by modern humans, [[Kikpari]] inhabited much of the Pukhtun River Valley and parts of the Duōma lower plateau. While not significantly settling the region, the Kikpari travelled across the land frequently, as seen in the wide distribution of stone tools, and later, fossilized bone. Homo sapiens migrated to Duōmachāha later, with remains from humans being dated as far back as approximately 200,000 years ago. There is no evidence suggesting cohabitation took place between the Kikpari and homo sapiens, with items of Alshar Kikpari culture not existing past 200,000 BCE, barring limited evidence surfaced in Canpei.

===== Neolithic =====
Beginning in April of 2027, the Union announced its first operation as a joint element would be combatting the increase in piracy and Varshani-sponsored terrorism in the Malentine Sea. Arcerion was the initial sponsor, providing the headquarters and support facilities required for JTF-M (Joint Task Force - Malentine), from which it began assigning patrol vessels and other assets to assist with the operation. The Operation was approved by the Union Council and other nations in the Union pledged their support. It was separated into three separate lines of effort, the first of which is Operation Wavetop, which focuses on the actual counter-piracy mission and counter-proliferation of weapons and arms enabling piracy. The second, Operation Shoreline, was a joint initiative to improve the quality of life and increase humanitarian aid and support infrastructure building in coastal communities of Kelekona, Telokona, and Malentina. By doing so the hope was to prevent future generations from engaging in piracy as a means of survival. Finally, Operation Albatross was the Special Operations targeting and prosecution of key financiers, smugglers, and pirate leaders that were responsible for enabling the burgeoning Malentine piracy trade.  
The Neolithic age is defined development of agricultural societies along the various rivers of Duōmachāha and the surrounding region. The Nongkun Civilization traces its history back the furthest, with rice cultivation dating back to 10,000 BCE, though other agricultural societies existed on the R'ngsha (<big><big>ར་ང་ཚ</big></big>), Skyigichu (<big><big>སྐྱེ་ཆུ</big></big>), Kanabyang (<big><big>ཀན་བྱང</big></big>), and Kanalho rivers (<big><big>ཀན་ལྷཽ</big></big>), with various different crops of choice. Unlike other parts of Alshar, Duōmachāha's proximity to Audonia brought about other crops such as wheat, oranges, blackberry, and pomegranate, though rice remained preferred as more could be produced. The different agricultural societies formed different cultures, with the differing landscapes creating three distinct societies into the late Neolithic Era. The Kana culture, Sky Culture, and Nongkun Culture. Each of these cultures grew comfortable in their harvests and began burgeoning civilizations with room for more specialization. While southern Duōmachāha attained agricultural know-how, the north of the country remained dominated by hunter societies into the early Bronze Age. These hunter societies remained numerous, and more closely resembled tribes than settlements, and relied on domesticating animals of the plateau rather than settling in one place. Horses, cows, and goats were domesticated some time around 3000 BCE, and would travel alongside Duōma tribes or be tamed as needed. Evidence of conflict between the agricultural societies and hunting tribes is limited, but conflict documented by later scholars and following famine suggests technological innovation brought about such.
== Membership ==
=== Era of Legend ''(Antiquity)'' ===
Membership in the CSTU is defined by the members under ''Resolution IX'', and is defined as the following:
Long before Duōmachāha bore its name, the lands were held together by the first Mang-po Rgyadre-tso Master. According to legend, the plateau was dominated by various warlord territories, but all were kept in check by the Mang-po Rgyadre-tso master. This lost martial art native to the Duōma plateau allowed warriors trained under the Master to wield multiple weapons at once as if they had multiple sets of arms. The legendary Master was able to slow down his time perception to such a degree that he could manipulate the very fabric of the environment around him. At this, the Master wielded the Four elemental weapons of Mang-po Rgyadre-tso: The Chasm Scythe, the Dual Section Thunder Sticks, the Gale Stars, and the Solar Cleaver. With command over the four elements the Mang-po Rgyadre-tso Master raised the Duōma plateau from the ground and permanently bound the land together across the large flat land. Though stretching the land thin forced the warlords to settle their differences, but they only came to peace through their collective fear of the Master. The power that came with the art was condemned, and the Master hid the elemental weapons across the land. These power of these weapons is said to have formed the features of Duōmachāha surrounding the plateau. The Snow Dragon Peaks are among some of the coldest in Alshar, and their dangerous freezing temperatures are said to be spurred by the Gale Stars. The Rusani Pass of the south is known through history to be cursed with constant storms, attributed to being the resting place of the Dual Section Thunder Sticks. Lake Nongkun is said to be the resting place of the Chasm Scythe, where the scythe split the ground open and forced the surrounding rivers to flood into the newly formed valley. The resting place of the Solar Cleaver is unknown, but it is believed to be underneath the Duōma Plateau where it beckoned the high temperatures absorbed by the now shrubland. The trees of the former steppe were lowered by the calling of the sword and removed the great forests that sowed the land's former internal division. Without the unifying power of Mang-po Rgyadre-tso and the Master to pass down his teachings, the new land proved foreign to the newly united people, leading to the period of debilitating famine and survivalist life that would definite the plateau and forge Duōma society.
<blockquote>The Members may, by unanimous agreement, invite any other Cronan or near-Cronan state in a position to further the principles of this Union and to contribute to the security of Crona to accede to this Union.  Prospective members must adhere to the following criteria:
=== Era of Survival (~2000 BCE - 600 BCE) ===
# New members must uphold democracy;
While the Era of Legend survives through folklore, the Era of Survival was chronicled by Yeshi Wangpo, an ancient Duōma philosopher and moralist. His documentation is one of few substantive sources remaining that thoroughly chronicles the foundation of Duōmachāha, though not without its limitations. The main text in which his documentation resides is known as the Pandect. The text documents various historical happenings along with stories of Wangpo's travels throughout Alshar as he collected the Duōma history and the morals he formed throughout his journey. Other available texts are used to fill in gaps in time and writing of legend, but the library of early Duōma literature remains limited into modern times.
# New members must be making progress or already have an established market economy;
==== Warlord Period (~2000 BCE) ====
# New members military forces must be under firm civilian control and oversight;
Though shrouded in a thick fog of legend, all texts documenting early Duōma history talk of various skilled warlords leading fragmented territories across the Duōma plateau. Fighting was seemingly bitter and fierce, with different warlords training armies of soldiers in burgeoning combat practices, such as Mang-po Rgyadre-tso. Resource across the plateau was minimal, leading to a scarce supply of adequate weaponry for battle. The power commanded by the warlords brought about tales of heroic combat between these powerful men, while Wangpo was able to create a picture of a more grim reality in the war-torn steppe. He writes of vast empty lands controlled by small groups of soldiers on cavalry while the citizenry was regularly short on necessities.

|quote  = While the Snow Dragon Pass depopulated into destitution the plateau became fiercely contested. None are able to trace back to the Era of Legend, but a monumental event evidently quelled previously cohesive civilization. While the only authority known on the plateau was that of the warlords, I struggle to see what brought about the collapse of Duōma society. Even as centuries have passed, the plateau is still marked by the anarchy of the Warlord Period, and the Hronizha government has only put this on display. Through my travels I am yet to meet any of the upper plateau who feel anything but the light touch of the new leadership, but the hole left by their conquest has brought an end to the famine.

== Associations with Non-Member States ==
Though Wangpo posits the existence of a Duōma civilization there is no evidence outside of the Pandect to suggest such. The Pandect itself, while broadly reliable, seemingly both chronicles Duōmachāha and outlines its components. The Snow Dragon Pass civilization existed outside of the scope of Duōma society until the first century but is still described as part of Duōmachāha. The event in question leading to the collapse of early Duōma civilization is thought to be invasion of the plateau from the Snow Dragon Pass, with a depopulation of the mountains following as Duōma armies were able to repel invasion. It is possible a more cohesive society existed in the Duōma plateau at this stage, with Yangpo referencing a previously united Duōma state prior to the Warlord Period. This state, however, evidently collapsed after the theorized invasion from the Snow Dragon Peaks, though there is limited archeological evidence to support this.  
Some nations in Crona already have existing security arrangements with other nations in Crona. For example, Arcerion has an aerospace patrol and basing agreement with the [[New Archduchy]], and while this may require Arcer forces to work under a different joint command with the New Archduchy, their forces are not necessarily unprotected by the resolutions of the CSTU Charter.

The Cronan Security and Trade Union (CSTU) is a military alliance based on the continent of Crona. Formed in 2027 by the three nations of Alstin, Arcerion, and Paulastra, it was aimed at providing a hybrid economic and military alliance that benefitted their capitalist, free market economies but also provided provisions for collective defense and military cooperation. Its headquarters is located centrally in Kinnaird, Arcerion and is expected to be finished construction in 2029. Until then, the Union Council is housed between the Arcer Ministry of Defense building and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The CSTU system is centered on ecomic cooperation and collective defense, where an attack by a third party is an attack on all. It was established mainly to combat growing problems following the Final Deluge and the impacts of the Varshan power vacuum in Crona. The Union Council's headquarters in Kinnaird is to be mirrored by a second Allied Coordination and Planning Centre (ACPC) which will likely be in Arcerion due to its central nature. Members in the alliance commit to military spending to ensure that they contribute to the Union's aim of a secure, stable and peaceful South Crona.

History

Military Operations (2027-present)

Anti-piracy in the Malentine Sea

Members of the ACS Howland conduct a stop-and-search of a Telokonan dhow-type vessel of the coast of Foxhey Governorate, May 2027.

Beginning in April of 2027, the Union announced its first operation as a joint element would be combatting the increase in piracy and Varshani-sponsored terrorism in the Malentine Sea. Arcerion was the initial sponsor, providing the headquarters and support facilities required for JTF-M (Joint Task Force - Malentine), from which it began assigning patrol vessels and other assets to assist with the operation. The Operation was approved by the Union Council and other nations in the Union pledged their support. It was separated into three separate lines of effort, the first of which is Operation Wavetop, which focuses on the actual counter-piracy mission and counter-proliferation of weapons and arms enabling piracy. The second, Operation Shoreline, was a joint initiative to improve the quality of life and increase humanitarian aid and support infrastructure building in coastal communities of Kelekona, Telokona, and Malentina. By doing so the hope was to prevent future generations from engaging in piracy as a means of survival. Finally, Operation Albatross was the Special Operations targeting and prosecution of key financiers, smugglers, and pirate leaders that were responsible for enabling the burgeoning Malentine piracy trade.

Membership

Membership in the CSTU is defined by the members under Resolution IX, and is defined as the following:

The Members may, by unanimous agreement, invite any other Cronan or near-Cronan state in a position to further the principles of this Union and to contribute to the security of Crona to accede to this Union.  Prospective members must adhere to the following criteria:

  1. New members must uphold democracy;
  2. New members must be making progress or already have an established market economy;
  3. New members military forces must be under firm civilian control and oversight;
  4. They must be good neighbours and members of their regional community;
  5. They must be working toward compatibility with other member state's forces.

Observership

Burgundie is an observer of of the CSTU, meaning there where it does not conflict with preexisting commitments, especially those of the Levantine Union, Burgundie commits itself to the membership criteria of the CSTU. It is particularly engaged in supporting the Union's anti-piracy mission in the Malentine.

Burgundie's diplomatic mission in Arcerion maintains a post that serves as the liaison to the CSTU. This liaison sits on the Economic and Security committees but is not enfranchised.

Associations with Non-Member States

Some nations in Crona already have existing security arrangements with other nations in Crona. For example, Arcerion has an aerospace patrol and basing agreement with the New Archduchy, and while this may require Arcer forces to work under a different joint command with the New Archduchy, their forces are not necessarily unprotected by the resolutions of the CSTU Charter.

Structure

All agencies and organizations of CSTU are considered to be part of the civilian administrative branch or the military operational branch. All of the subordinate organizations serve to further the aims of the Union or support its ongoing operations.

  • Union Council (UC) - The governing body of the Cronan Security and Trade Union, serves as the executive body that deals with the effective governance and administration of the Union. It is sub-divided into two sub-councils (referred to as committees). It convenes several times a month and has permanent representatives posted to its headquarters to help shape CSTU policy and direction. It is chaired by the Chairman of the Union Council, and sub-councils are accordingly convened and headed by Deputy Chairmen.
    • Economic Committee - Convened at least once a week, the purpose of the economic committee is to ensure that member nations coordinate economic policy and respect national sovereignty in the economic sphere, and create a more competitive market for CSTU member states.
    • Security Committee - This committee is convened daily, and is made up of uniformed personnel and civilians, and they discuss ongoing operations and future plans for security and defense matters in Crona or as required by the member states.
